Very Interesting solution. I'm a fan of Python Jinja. But I ask myself the following. I use Jinja to render pages and fragments. I use fetch and the DOM to paste those fragments in my SPA pages. All async. Why would I render client-side in this setup?

Example: I have a page with a table. The first GET renders the whole page. When I need to update the table I use JSON fetch requests, which returns json with rendered html fragments (fi a table body) to update the DOM. JInja is fast, templates can be pre-compiled and minified. How / where can I benefit from your interesting solution.

Hi there,

I'm playing around with this project to see if we could use it to share template code between our client and server. So far it looks very promising!

Unfortunately, we use AngularJS dependency injection instead of modules and bower instead of npm for dependencies, which means installing the runtime was a bit of a challenge. I had to copy the runtime file, which isn't too big a big deal although it would be nice to have instructions to do so if you don't use npm.

Part of the challenge was due to one small bug: the module definition wrapper has a misnamed variable in the non-AMD, non-CommonJS case. root should be global in the immediately invoked expression at the top of the file.

This is trivial to fix, but if you'd like I'm happy to make a pull request.

Thanks!
Tom

Thanks for the awesome library:

I was having some trouble getting {% with %}{% endwith %} to work. I even grabbed the test case out of the projects template directory (with.jinja).

Here is the command I ran:

jinja_to_js ./templates with.jinja -m es6 -o ./js/with_jinja.js
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/jinja_to_js", line 9, in

Am i doing something wrong? Thanks a lot!
